Course Assessment (Quiz)

Dec 16, 2019

I am having a great deal of difficulty with my assessment questions.  I am asking learners to type in a text entry and then click on a hotspot to move to the next slide and this is not working.  I have it working on other slides, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I have attached a screenshot of my slide.  Also, I have added a trigger so that the 'Try Again' layer shows when the learner clicks outside the text entry box and the hotspot.  As soon as the learner clicks into the text entry box, the try again layer is shown.  Please can anyone help me.  Many thanks.  Linda Welch

Hi Phil,

I have all the questions like this and the layers work fine. Each question has several slides, and the learner has to complete all of the slides to complete the question.  There are six questions!  It is quite difficult.  The project team are wanting me to increase the assessment to 10 questions!  It is just this one where there are two fields that I want the learner to click onto.  I will try it with an OR and see.

Have you any idea why the hotspot trigger isn't working?  Again, this is working perfectly well on other slides!  I must be doing something wrong, but I can't see what!  many thanks for your help.

Hi Phil,  If I don't use a question slide with the try attempts set, I don't think it would then fail and show the incorrect layer after 3 attempts.  I don't know how to set that without a question slide.  It is working ok on my other slides.   Do you want me to send you the file?  Would that help.  many thanks. Linda

Hi Linda, looking at those settings I don't see any real way for the incorrect layer to show properly as you are not submitting the question anywhere. If the incorrect layer is showing it is more by luck than judgement (unless you have additional triggers on the try again layer to control this. 

The 3 attempts should only work when you use a submit trigger which you dont appear to be using.

Just another question, how do I enable a question to be retried if it has been failed? I have redirected the learners to a summary slide once they have completed all the slides.  If they have failed, the question, it should show in red, but when I click on it to retry the question, it does not play.  Is there a way that I can restart the question?  Many thanks.
